Rosette Nebula Space Walk Among the Stars - audio
Images of the Rosette Nebula taken by amateur astronomers. Remember that you won't see anywhere near this level of brightness or detail in the nebulosity, and no color visually.
Charts to accompany the Space Walk. Review these prior to observing with your telescope.
Chart 1: Finding the general area in the sky
Does the constellation Monoceros look like a unicorn to you? Looks more like a pterodactyl to me!
Image of the Rosette Nebula with objects from the Space Walk labeled. Note that you will not see anywhere near this level of nebulosity and it will appear gray, if you can see it at all. As always, a darker sky helps tremendously.
Chart 2: Galaxy view of the main objects.
Chart adapted from Our Galaxy 2.0.
